Dear Member,

You may be aware from the recent press coverage, that on 31 July this year, Lansdowne Football Club completed the acquisition of the sports grounds located off Claremont Road in Sandymount from YMCA Dublin.

This is a very exciting time for Lansdowne FC and, as a Club, we are very grateful to have the opportunity to acquire such a superb site and to become the new custodian of this important outside space.

The acquisition of the ground provides the members of the club and the local community with much needed additional sporting facilities and the opportunity for Lansdowne FC to extend our community links covering Sandymount and the surrounding areas. This is a significant investment for the club and we are very much committed to operating a sustainable and vibrant multi-sporting campus that adds value to and is part of the community.

This purchase of the ground by a sporting organisation will continue to provide enjoyment and amenities for exercise and recreation for a diverse range of sporting and other activities long into the future.

As an immediate neighbour of the grounds we would like to invite you to attend a meet and greet information evening to introduce the executiive members of Lansdowne, to get input on your wishes and any potential concerns and to share our short and medium term priorities and plans for utilising the ground.

Location : Lansdowne FC, Lansdowne Road

Date : September 26th

Time : 6:30pm

Please RSVP by Sept 20 to info@lansdownerugby.com to facilitate catering requirements.

We look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely

Stephen Rooney

President

Lansdowne FC
